Keylor Navas thwarted Lionel Messi and Neymar, then watched as Luis Suarez whiffed on a brilliant chance. The three-headed monster couldn't beat the Costa Rican goalkeeper through 55 minutes.

The Spanish defender sent a thunderous header past Navas ten minutes into the second half, opening the scoring in the (typically) feisty contest at the Camp Nou.
